I just finished the Vault of Glass with a team of 6, only knowing 1 before hand. We just got invited to the fireteam of 6 by the leader who just wanted high levels. We meshed playstyles and started getting into a groove really early on, before even entering the actual Vault of Glass, and the rest was just puzzling out the rooms and bosses, and "finishing the fight" so to speak.
After only a few hours of actual successful gameplay, and we destroyed the minions of the Darkness and put the reign of Atheon to an end. We stomped all over this raid, and the 1337 n00bs clan was repaid in glorious loot. Ask me questions about anything in Destiny or the Raid specifically if you'd like to know anything :)
I am currently a level 28 Hunter.
